The parking area of our project is mostly located underground but there are some parking spaces on the ground level. Based on our calculation we can meet credit Option 2 requirements. However, some of the ground level parking spaces are shaded by a traffic bridge. In my opinion, this might comply with under cover definition. Do we need to consider SRI of the road surface? We presume we need to provide shading analysis for this part of parking area on the summer solstice.
Thank you.

Martin,
I think your approach should work. Do you know the SRI of the road surface? Asphalt has a SRI of 0 and gray concrete has a SRI of 35. It should be sufficient if you provide a shading analysis for this section of the parking area without including the SRI of the road.
